Hollywood In Your Pocket

Back in July I participated in the Seattle leg of this year's 48 Hour Film Project. I mentioned it only briefly on the blog, just before the actual event. We finally got the link to our film, which can only be distributed online via the 48HFP site (our agreement with the project restricts our distribution options; no YouTube for us). Enjoy it in all its glory:

Comments/questions welcome. If you want the full tale (at least from my perspective) of how the movie was made, feel free to ask next time we're in the same room. There's far too much to tell than can be squeezed into one little blog.

Monsters, the Lot of Us

Yes, it's true. The Kurkoski Boys eat children. But we cook them up gourmet-style first:

Cooking With Sarah

The non-fictional aspect of this is that my brother has started blogging about and posting photos of my niece and nephew. Much appreciated. That whole Pacific Ocean thing kind of gets in the way of casual family get-togethers.

Toe back in the blog-water

Tonight I'm going to test my foot in action for the first time since the injury. Well, not the first time, exactly; last night I took it to the gym and worked on the treadmill for a while. The foot survived but the rest of me is rather weary after experiencing strenuous exercise after a month's absence.

Also, it turns out my toe wasn't broken, just badly sprained. That's how it felt to me but the doc said "broken" at first so I followed his instructions. A couple of weeks later I got a voicemail from him, with news from the radiologist that the hairline fracture in the x-ray was likely a hairline artifact.

In any case the foot feels OK mostly, though I can still feel the pain when I flex it too far. Soccer tonight (the first game of the fall season) should be interesting.

So where have my bad toe and I been for the past month? Not far, really. Worked a lot recently. Attended the annual Kurkoski family campout at Ohanapecosh on Mt. Rainier. Took some photos. (Sorry, nothing online yet.) Played a lot of Burnout: Paradise on the 360.
